In a fuel supply device including a regulator and float-type level sensor, a fitting tube is formed integrally with an upper housing, a fuel pump being retained between the upper and lower housings. An outer periphery of a base part of the regulator is fitted into the tube. A regulator retaining member is formed as a separate member from the upper housing and retains the regulator in cooperation with the tube. The tube and the retaining member are joined via a snap-fit join part provided on fitting parts therebetween. The snap-fit join part is formed by engaging a projecting portion or a recess part, formed on an elastic piece provided on one of the fitting parts between the retaining member and the tube, with the recess part or the projecting portion formed on the other fitting part. A sensor support arm is molded as a unit with the retaining member.

A regulator for hydrogen or other media can include a regulator body and an inlet into the regulator body. A first regulator stage can be downstream of the inlet and a second regulator stage can be downstream of the first regulator stage. An interstage passage can extend between the first and second regulator stages and an outlet from the regulator body can be downstream of the second regulator stage. The first regulator stage can include a first valve seat, a first valve stem, and a first sensor configured to transmit pressure force to urge the valve stem toward the valve seat. The second regulator stage can include a second valve seat, a second valve stem, and a second sensor configured to transmit pressure force to urge the second valve stem toward the second valve seat.

Adjustable fluidic oscillators are disclosed. A disclosed example oscillator includes a base having a cavity with a cross-sectional profile defining an oscillatory chamber between an inlet and an outlet of the oscillator, and a plunger to be received by the cavity and movable along a depth of the cavity to vary an aspect ratio of the oscillator.

A regulator may include a main body portion, a pressure regulating chamber, a valve seat, and a piston pressure regulating valve. The piston pressure regulating valve may include a pressure regulating valve element having an end surface that is adjustable into close contact with at least a portion of the valve seat. The piston pressure regulating valve may also include a piston portion surrounding an outer periphery of the pressure regulating valve element. The piston portion may be slidable in an axial direction of a passage of the main body portion and may be biased via a pressure regulating spring disposed in an atmosphere chamber. The pressure regulating valve element may include a step protruding from a fitting portion to the piston portion at an upstream position disposed displaced from a pressure regulating range at an outer peripheral portion of the pressure regulating valve element.

A step protruding from a fitting portion to a piston portion is provided at an upstream position displaced from a pressure regulating range at an outer peripheral portion of a pressure regulating valve element.

A pressure regulator including a closure resisting mechanism that increases the total closure resisting force of a closure element to prevent the closure element from moving into a closed position until a predetermined pressure set point is reached. The closure resisting mechanism operates automatically and is spring actuated in response to pressure within a fluid pathway of the regulator. The closure resisting mechanism is disposed external to the fluid pathway so as not to impede fluid flow.

A multi-stage gas pressure reduction system includes a first pressure regulator, the first pressure regulator positioned to receive gas at supply pressure from an inlet and to output gas at a first intermediate pressure. The multi-stage gas pressure regulation system includes a second pressure regulator, the second pressure regulator positioned to receive gas at the first intermediate pressure from the first pressure regulator and to output gas at a second intermediate pressure. The multi-stage gas pressure regulations system includes a third pressure regulator, the third pressure regulator positioned to receive gas at the second intermediate pressure from the second pressure regulator and to output gas at a third intermediate pressure to an outlet.

A pressure regulator has a valve tube assembly, a gas-input assembly, a first regulating assembly and a second regulating assembly. The gas storage device has a storage unit and the pressure regulator. By the first and the second regulating assemblies, the effect of adjusting down the gas pressure is achieved to maintain the safety of use. The pressure regulator is partially embedded in the gas storage unit to reduce the overall volume of the gas storage device. However, the high-pressure piston chamber of the valve tube assembly communicates with the outside of the gas storage unit through the high-pressure gas channel to maintain the normal operation of the elastic element in the high-pressure piston chamber.

A pressure regulator valve for regulating pressures within a portion of an irrigation system, can also be used to shut off downstream flow into the portion of the irrigation system in response to an incoming command arriving via an incoming port into the regulator.

A pressure relief valve includes a first port that receives a first gas at an input pressure, a second port that receive a second gas at a regulating pressure, a third port in communication with the first port via an orifice and that outputs the first gas at an output pressure and a piston movable along an axis and configured to control the passage of gas through the orifice between the first port and the second port, such that the output pressure of the gas is dependent on the axial position of the piston. The valve also in include a resilient member configured to bias the piston and the valve comprises a chamber at least partly defined by the piston and in fluid communication with the second port, such that the force exerted by the gas within the chamber on the piston acts against the action of the resilient member.
